That begs the question - how did Torpedo become so poor?Larionov's Torpedo plays Soviet style hockey. One of the youngest and poorest KHL teams destroyed two teams in the row.
Vityaz deserve a shoutout as well, with a very Vityaz-like roster they are 3/3 beating Avangard and SYu. Avangard themselves on the other hand... I guess they want to prove Hartley wasn't being paid for nothing.
Surely there is any number of ways to get the sticks you want, it's just that you might be forced to find a way to do it. More of a nuisance than a real issue.Also should be mentioned that while Bauer has left the Russian market and CCM kind of didn't officially, but also are having issues with deliveries, still there are foreign companies like Sherwood or True who are apparently staying. So the main issue is not with the stick availability as such, but with the players, who are used to some exact stick model they use for years and now will have to readjust.
